Artwork Description

'Peonies and roses' is the 4th and final painting in the series titled Ephemeral Beauty.
This series is an exploration around the theme of transient beauty.
An attempt to capture both a moment of exuberant beauty - and slow decline.
The work draws upon the influences of the Dutch floral masters
and the foreboding darkness and drama of Caravaggio.

“Wonderful piece of art by a talented artist. We couldn’t be happier with it. It has become the main feature in our living room. Bluethumb was great too - checked in with us when our delivery had to be sent back to the depot (we weren’t home) and made sure it got to us. Very satisfied.”

“The painting I bought had already sadly been sold in person, but both Tony and Bluethumbs support personnel were wonderful in fixing the issue. I ended up purchasing another one of Tony’s works instead, and am amazed at the quality of the work.”

“I was apprehensive only viewing this piece on line but was thrilled to see how wonderful it was when I unpacked it, beautifully painted, it actually feels like it’s moving and so peaceful I wish I could walk on the shore. Everything was done very professionally and communication was excellent, thank you Gaye and Blue Thumb, it is perfect with my revamped living space”
